"This is our third visit to Ecco and definitely not our last. Dining on the patio was really nice and peaceful- much more romantic than the hustle of the open bar/restaurant area. We had a new server who took excellent care of us and the support staff was most attentive."

"Its a good place. They were a little slow getting the food to us but besides that, no complaints. It maybe took an extra 20 minutes because of that. The waiter was a good fun guy and that helped.
I would go back there.

"ECCO has a great selection of pizza, salad, and pasta. I always find it difficult to choose what to order because so many things are delicious. The wood-roasted artichoke is amazing! The Diablo pizza is VERY spicy! When my husband and I go with another couple, we typically order two salads and two pizzas and mix-n-match (share) family style! Great restaurant. The service is prompt and friendly and the wait staff are fun and energetic. Didn't see any sign of a manager while we were there...I guess that's a good thing?"

"Had a great visit. We loved the atmosphere. The food was very good. Only complaint was the green beans were undercooked. We enjoyed sharing several pizzas, and utilized the family style salad. Chicken was awesome.
We would definitely recommend to friends and family.

"This place is always very good, but on this trip they started charging $3 for a basket of bread. This is kind of cheesy, considering most Italian restaurants give that without even asking. When you start charging for little things like that,
It just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

"Everything was excellent. Only issue was that we were 20 minutes early and they said they had no tables available to accomodate us, howewever, upon our return 20 minutes later, we noticed we were sat at at table that was empty upon our earlier arrival. I think they wanted to just push us to the bar."

"This restaurant is in a compound setting called "The Camp". The area is landscaped with water preserving plants and vintage trailers dot the area and provide that ambiance of camping. Ecco, which features wood fired pizzas, had a great menu. I enjoyed an Osso Buco and my companion had a great salad. Edgy and fun!"

"The food was excellent but our service was so bad that we left halfway through dinner. We had asked our waiter if we could share the special restaurant week menu and he said that was not allowed. My husband ordered the special menu and I ordered a two appetizers. I don't know if he thought we werent ordering enough food or if my taking some of my husbands salad was "sharing", but he simply stopped coming to our table. He never refilled our water, checked on us or brought my husbands entree. After an hour and 45 minutes (no kidding) without an entree, my husband had to get up and find him to ask for our bill since we were being ignored. So he brings the bill and charges us for the entree and dessert that never came and never apologized!"

"This was my first visit to Ecco. I had walked by their restaurant a few months back and noticed that it was packed so I figured I should give it a try.
When we arrived for our reservation we were informed that they had booked a large party that took over the dinning room so our only option was to sit at the bar or outside. We ended up sitting outside since it was a bit loud indoors.
Our waiter was very prompt and courteous. Our food arrived very quickly, however the pizza became cold almost immediately. I'm sure this had to do with the fact that we were sitting outdoors and it was quite cold out."
